FOUR STARS FOR TIRZAH GARWOOD!

It's always gratifying to get some press for an exhibition, but the reviews of Tirzah Garwood: Beyond Ravilious have been particularly enjoyable. Writers seem to have enjoyed coming face to face with an artist they haven't really seen before, and to have been affected by Garwood's peculiar magic as I was and as visitors to the gallery seem to be. We're not making claims about greatness or saying art should be this and not that... we've simply put up works by an artist the world (we feel) will be better for knowing, and said, 'Come and have a look.' I admire Jenny Scott and staff at Dulwich for doing that, and Garwood's family too. Links to articles below - some unfortunately behind a paywall.
